Yes indeed you can find funky fabric at Walmart. Unbelievable! I am so excited about the fabric I picked up this week. It's perfect for a reupholstery project and was only $6/metre. Now I just need to find the right project! And keep finishing projects - that's the hard part!

I also picked up this 26" x 26" piece of vintage fabric for $0.50 at the Treasure Cottage Thrift Store in North Vancouver. It's so fun - I love the pattern and colours. I thought I could make an accent pillow cover to go with a set of pillow covers from the striped fabric I picked up a couple of weeks ago... Lots of ideas, not enough time!

And well what else do you think I picked up... Yes ANOTHER chair to be rescued. This is getting embarrassing! A couple of people at work suggested I check out Freecycle North Vancouver for free projects to update. I came across this chair and decided to grab it. I'll fix up the leather, sand the wood then stain it - that should be it!
